Quote of the Day by U S Army EOD

[goldstategop]

The feminazis have never liked marriage for being too patriarchal, too traditional, and too inegalitarian. All of which is intolerable to those who hate men, virtues, and the inevitable presence of hierachy in life. No wonder the NOW dowagers are hell-bent on getting rid of marriage come hell or high water.

Ten Lies of Feminism

Sue Bohlin

---

This essay examines the ten lies of feminism that Dr. Toni Grant suggests in her book Being a Woman.{1}

 

At its inception, the feminist movement, accompanied by the sexual revolution, made a series of enticing, exciting promises to women. These promises sounded good, so good that many women deserted their men and their children or rejected the entire notion of marriage and family, in pursuit of "themselves" and a career. These pursuits, which emphasized self-sufficiency and individualism, were supposed to enhance a woman's quality of life and improve her options, as well as her relations with men. Now, a decade or so later, women have had to face the fact that, in many ways, feminism and liberation made promises that could not be delivered.{2}

Feminism is all about socialism. They don't want to see self-sufficiency, a couple working together providing for themselves, they want the woman to be helpless and turning to the government for support.

I am reading a book by Warren Farrell called 'The Myth of Male Power.' In the introduction, he talks about the 2000 election, in which of course more married women voted for Bush and single women for Gore. His take was that married women see men as the protectors, providers, etc. and that Bush would be more likely to 'protect' their interests through lowering taxes so that their husbands would be able to provide better for the family. On the other hand, the single women see government as the protector and Gore was the best way to promote that particular interest. Farrell is a little more elaborative in describing this dynamic, but that is the heart of it.

FWIW I would love to see some of these feminazis change one of my son's diapers and scrub my floors--that would probably make them melt like the Wicked Witch of the West (insert evil laugh here).

But my colleagues at the Heritage Foundation just released a paper that shows how far some feminists have fallen from the movement's noble beginnings as an advocate for fairness in the home and the workplace – which most of us would see as worthwhile goals ....

Operative word is SOME.

Operative word is FAIRNESS

Even the Heritage Foundation acknowledges that the dynamics of marriage have changed (for the better). Most people know better than to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Marriage IS a worthwhile goal and promoting it is worthwhile. That said, there are fair criticisms of how the Bush administration is going about promoting marriage in some of the proposed programs which are one-sided in seemingly targeting only women. Since women don't marry each other, these seems counterproductive.

Otherwise, programs which encourage responsibility of BOTH parties to marriage and procreation, say starting in high schools, seem like a good plan, and I personally don't have a problem with that, as long as they are directed at encouraging responsibility of BOTH parties, male and female, toward marriage before family.

I would have a great deal of criticism and wouldn't want my tax dollars to pay for programs which are one-sided with regard to encouraging responsibility in procreation and forming families. It takes TWO to make a stable marriage and to be responsible parents .... something I have a real problem with organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and others constantly overlooking.

You can bet I'll be a big loudmouthed feminist critic of Bush et al's pro-marriage plans if they attempt to one-side the issue. Be careful how you frame the issues Mr. Bush, and you'll get more people, even feminists, on your side.

Marriage is a great and a worthwhile goal. Let's make sure we make the case equally to MEN as well as women.
